I don't know what is the best default for Italian. However, please
note that by setting LANG to something like it.iso8859-15, a user
tells Emacs to use Latin-9 rather than the default. (At least that's
how this is supposed to work; I didn't try.)
My question was referring to the case when I define a new language
environment for Italian. In that case, one would say in .emacs:
(set-language-environment "Italian")
and the rest would come along automatically, including the fonts to be
used. If this is correct, then setting language to Italian would be a
problem in those places where a latin-9 font does not exist. Is this
the case? Is it really a problem?
